Beginner angler recommended fly rod feature
For novice anglers, buy a medium speed fly rod. They are the most versatile fly rods and are very tolerant to learn. If you want to learn more about fly stick action, read the guide on how to choose a fly stick.
The rod length for trout should be 8.5 to 9 feet. Beginners won't want to go again, and should only go shorter if most of their fishing is for small fish (e.g. panfish).
The weight of the fly rod (which means the weight of the fly line you plan to use) will vary depending on your fishing purpose. But for trout fishing, it is usually best to use a 4, 5, or 6 weight rod. I personally prefer four weights, but that's just me. However, a five-weight bar is probably the most versatile.
Make sure the weight of the fly rod matches the line width you plan to use. Also, make sure the weight of the flyrod matches the weight of the flywheel you plan to use. For more information on this topic, read the How to Choose a Flyer Guide.
If Tip #4 is confusing, remember this formula: flyrod weight = flywire weight = flywheel weight.
New anglers don't need $700 rods. However, the poor performance of cheap fly fishing rods can quickly frustrate new anglers. Beginners should consider a "mid-range" fly rod in terms of price. This way, you will be able to use the rod for many years without worrying that it will "grow out" soon. A good choice for new anglers is the variety of Orvis Clearwater fly fishing rods available. They're there forever, and anglers don't grow up any time soon.
There are some good brands of fishing rods: Cabela's, Orvis, Sage, G. Loomis, Winston, Redington, Fenwick, Scott & St. Croix.
The above list is by no means exhaustive. Many other fine flying rods were made. These are just the ones I'm familiar with. Choosing one of the mid-priced rods from any of the above brands will prevent new anglers from buying rods that will soon become obsolete.
Planning frequent travel? If so, consider buying a fly rod that can be packaged into four or more pieces -- they're easier to carry around. These rods are often referred to, appropriately enough, as "traveling rods."
